The role of literature in life or heroes of my culture "ordinary "
Thinking of all the thrillers I read, - literature teacher-fallen!, all series that I watch on TV, I often ponder the distinction between ordinary reading and reading scholarly , as the established C. Baudelot (1) : the first like popular culture, finds its roots in the living space of the reader, what he lives or has lived, his questions, doubts, anxieties, joys, and it sends back an echo of his own life or even her makes sense. It is virtually involved.
The second has an aesthetic purpose, within the context of the artistic field takes place through the prism of literary culture and aesthetic values. It involves taking a large distance from the work and objective knowledge of the field in which it is ... It is distanced.
And I thought the thrillers we give life to thinking, overcome fears, joys to hope for, sometimes regardless of their aesthetic composition. I saw the epitome of cultural objects "ordinary."
But it was basically a misunderstanding, this is not the works that are ordinary, I refuse to admit also that there are ordinary works ...
It use made of it that is, sense most laudatory of the ordinary word within the meaning of daily, necessary, clear, current, inherent to life.
In fact we can do as a vital read, and in this sense ordinary literary works deemed .

The distinction is not due to the quality of the work but the vital function it for us.

be added to Molière : I am furious when the monstrous egotism of our old grandfather, you shake, brilliant showman, your Harpagon or old Geronte until ... I laugh ...
When I can not make it clear to my students or my students found the utility to remove the grammatical system, "since after all, one learns to speak without it," they say, I tell them Mr. Jordan, I tell them about pleasure, jubilation, madness, not useful, not necessity, not "we must" ...
When the world seems crazy, twisted, rotten old bastard when I turn, Cacambo told me not to lose hope, that a river always leads somewhere, Candide me back to my flowers I could ignore ...
